Oats Breakfast with a twist
Oatmeal with Jam and Red Orange Juice |
Like most people I used to add milk to my oats on the stove and just eat it like that, until I discovered that the option exits of adding something on top (I know I live in a cave) and since then I have been converted. Now I believe that anything is possible with oats and for a while I've been adding fruits and pomegranate and honey to it for flavor, at one point I was into bananas, nuts and peanut butter. Until recently when I discovered that less is probably more (and also due to the lack of anything interesting to top it up with in my fridge).
One morning when I wasn't really feeling honey to sweeten my oats I resorted to Jam, yes just jam, no other fruit or spread, just jam. Some people may find it weird to add just jam to oats but since I tried it once, I can't get enough. It's so simple that it's actually genius. You don't really need a recipe here, all I do is add a cup of milk -I refuse pretend it's dairy free or that I eat "healthy"- to oats in a bowl into the microwave for 2 minutes, take it out and top up the milk if I need to then add two teaspoons of raspberry, cherry, strawberry or orange jam and just devour. I didn't really try any other type of jam but of course the sky is the limit.
Leave me a comment if you tried it and let me know what you think.
Bonappetit!
